Solution particles

Clearly, it is important that there be a large contact angle at the solid particle-solution-air interface. Some minerals, such as graphite and sulfur, are naturally hydrophobic, but even with these it has been advantageous to add materials to the system that will adsorb to give a hydrophobic film on the solid surface. (Effects can be complicated—sulfur notability oscillates with the number of preadsoibed monolayers of hydrocarbons such as n-heptane [76].) The use of surface modifiers or collectors is, of course, essential in the case of naturally hydrophilic minerals such as silica. 

Since indistinguishability is a necessary property of exact wavefiinctions, it is reasonable to impose the same constraint on the approximate wavefiinctions ( ) fonned from products of single-particle solutions. Flowever, if two or more of the Xj the product are different, it is necessary to fonn linear combinations if the condition P. i = vj/ is to be met. An additional consequence of indistinguishability is that the h. operators corresponding to identical particles must also be identical and therefore have precisely the same eigenfiinctions. It should be noted that there is nothing mysterious about this perfectly reasonable restriction placed on the mathematical fonn of wavefiinctions.

Several different approaches can be used to model the interaction of solutes with reactive mineral surfaces. The conceptual approaches differ in the degree to which they account for observed or postulated solution and surface reactions. Whatever the approach, the description of interactions at the particle/solution interface must inevitably take into account the effect of pH on solute adsorption. 

In the case of aqueous solutions containing dissolved particles (solutes), a number of localized electron levels associated with solute particles Eirise in the mobility gap of aqueous solutions as shown in Fig. 2-34. These localized electron levels of solutes may be compared with the localized impiuity levels in semiconductors. In electrochemistry, the electron levels of the solutes of general interest are those located within the energy range from - 4 eV to - 6 eV (around the electron levels of the hydrogen and oxygen electrode reactions) in the mobility gap.

Hole injection into the silver particles was accomplished by allowing OH (formed in the pulse radiolysis of N20-saturated, aqueous, 3.0-nm-diameter Ag particle solution (Eqs. 22,23) in the absence of the -OH scavenger, 2-propanol) to extract electrons from the surface of colloidal, metallic silver particles. The process resulted in a red shift, broadening, and a decrease in intensity of the silver plasmon absorption band (see 0 - b change in Fig. 83) [506]. Addition of silver ions to metallic silver colloids elicited a similar change in the absorption spectrum [506]. 

A satisfactory description of the state of solution is therefore only obtained in the case of a thermodynamically good solvent by taking five distinct states of solution into consideration, namely ideally-dilute particle solutions, semi-dilute particle solutions, semi-dilute network solution, concentrated particle solution, and concentrated network solution (Fig. 27).

Recent advances in the development of non-invasive, in situ spectroscopic scanned-probe and microscopy techniques have been applied successfully to study mineral particles in aqueous suspension (Hawthorne, 1988 Hochella and White, 1990). In situ spectroscopic methods often utilise molecular probes that have diagnostic properties sensitive to changes in short-range molecular environments. At the particle-solution interface, the molecular environment around a probe species is perturbed, and the diagnostic properties of the probe, which can be either optical or magnetic, then report back on surface molecular structure. Examples of in situ probe approaches that have been used fruitfully include electron spin resonance (ESR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spin-probe studies perturbed vibrational probe (Raman and Fourier-transform IR) studies and X-ray absorption (Hawthorne, 1988 Hochella and White, 1990 Charletand Manceau, 1993 Johnston et al., 1993).

It is not possible to obtain a direct solution of a Schrodinger equation for a structure containing more than two particles. Solutions are normally obtained by simplifying H by using the Hartree-Fock approximation. This approximation uses the concept of an effective field V to represent the interactions of an electron with all the other electrons in the structure. For example, the Hartree-Fock approximation converts the Hamiltonian operator (5.7) for each electron in the hydrogen molecule to the simpler form ...
